Neurotransmitter alterations in the anterior cingulate cortex in Crohn's disease patients with abdominal pain: A preliminary MR spectroscopy study
ConclusionThe neural mechanism of CD patients with abdominal pain in pain processing is tightly associated with neurochemical metabolites. An imbalance in Glu and GABA may play a key role in abdominal pain processing for patients with CD. This mechanism of pain may associate with the intestinal microbiota on the brain-gut axis.
